Pipers have strong second day to close out MIAC championships

The top three finishers in each event are named All-MIAC while places four through six earn honorable mention status. The top eight finishers score championship points for the team.

Becky Culp (Fy., Lino Lakes, Minn.) finished third in the shot put with a throw of 12.47 meters (40-11). On Friday, she was second in the discus. Robyn Wernberg (Jr., Brainerd, Minn.) placed seventh with a put of 12.16 meters (39-10 ¾).

On the track, for the second time in two days, Margot Branigan (Sr., Roseville, Minn.) put together an All-MIAC performance in a distance race. This time she raced to third in the 5,000-meter run, crossing the line in 17:53.82.
